SLEEVE FORM FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES Application led March 18, 1830. y Serial No. 436,675.

This invention relates to improvements in sleeve forms, and more particularly to sleeve forms, for display purposes.

In the display of coats for men, women, 5. and children on display forms, it becomes desirable to provide means by which the sleeves shown may be distended to the positions of the garment when worn, and it is for this purpose that I have provided a novel type of sleeve form hereinafter described.

Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the specification and drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a perspective view partly broken away of a coat provided with my improved adjustable sleeve form.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view partly in section of the sleeve form alone.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view along the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. l is a sectional view along the line 1 /l of Fig. 2.

My improved sleeve form consists of a body 10 having a fabric covering 11, and provided internally with two layers of wadding 12 and la between which is positioned a stiifening of haircloth 13 of similar material. The

sleeve form is provided with an inner lining 15 of cambric or similar light expansible material, and it should be noted that this material is pleated in opposite portions of the sleeve form at 16 and 17, asy clearly shown in Fig. 3. This plea-ting is for the purpose of permitting the contraction and expansion of the sleeve form, as the necessary adjustments are made upon the form in use within the sleeve to be displayed. 18 indicates an internal opening into the sleeve lining through which the sleeve of a shirt may be slipped, s0 as to permit the display of a cuff c, as shown in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 1 the sleeve is indicated as S, and the sleeve form as 10, the body of the coat being denominated as C.

For convenience, the holder is provided with a tab at the top, so that it may be readily removed from the sleeve. The construction hereinbefore described provides a sleeve form which is adjustable, which will readily stay in any one position, but which may be readily conformed to the outline of the sleeve in which it may be positioned. The necessary Having fully described my invention, what l claim is 1. ln a sleeve form, an outer fabric, a series of layers of wadding having a stiifening of haircloth between said layers, and an inner fabric of cambric having pleatstherein and on opposite sides thereon.

2. In a sleeve form, a body conforming to the general outline of a sleeve, an outer covering of textile fabric, a series of layers of wadding within said body having a stiiening material interposed between said layers and an inner lining of pliable fabric having pleats therein.

8. ln a sleeve form, a body conforming to the general outline of a sleeve, an outer covering of textile fabric, a series of layers of wadding within said body having a stifening material interposed between said layers and an inner lining of pliable fabric having pleats therein and on opposite sides of said lining.

4. In a sleeve form, a body conforming to the general outline of a sleeve, an outer covering of textile fabric,`a series ofvlayers of wadding within said body having 'a stiifening material interposed between said layers and an inner lining of pliable and extensible fabric having pleats thereon.
